I appreciate those of you who have opened up and shared your experiences with this issue. So many women carry scars like Anita mentioned. It can be difficult to share these scars with others, but doing so can remind us that we are not alone and maybe help someone else on the road to healing.<br /><br />Lisa, my dear friend, thank poetBeckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04153271987867089307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-27069621541196220122012-11-05T20:14:41.348-05:002012-11-05T20:14:41.348-05:00Hi Becki, thanks for sharing with us today.

I struggled with infertility and miscarriage as I had less than a 20% chance of getting pregnant because of a bicornuate uterus and only one functional fallopian tube. <br /><br />I'm one of the blessed ones because healing began with the birth of my healthy preemie, but many scars remain.

God sent me amazing family and friends to help me through the dark days. It did take lots of prayer, tears, and time. <br /><br />It hurts me to say my precious niece is also dealing with this. She's writing like you did, and she's staying strong in her faith and ministering to Suzie Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06296203324088418271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-43725685848079629152012-11-05T11:45:14.277-05:002012-11-05T11:45:14.277-05:00Thanks so much for sharing with us, Becki.

I grieved, but God used the loss to teach me a lot about His love for me. <br /><br />Congratulations on the opportunity to adopt! What a joy.<br /><br />Thanks for bringing Becki to us, Lisa.Susanne Dietzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09710634601407161821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-67745134530654029722012-11-05T10:29:52.357-05:002012-11-05T10:29:52.357-05:00Thanks everyone!

It looks like we may be able to adopt them which would be wonderful. This is just one of the ways God has wrought something beautiful out of my loss. He really is amazing!--BeckipoetBeckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04153271987867089307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-33694744945160433082012-11-05T09:37:42.751-05:002012-11-05T09:37:42.751-05:00Becki

Your disappointment is shared by so many but you have the ability to put those feelings into words that will help others. I expect you'll find it touches a lot of people over the years.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting!Debra E.

Have to drive about 5 hours. But I know Becki's planning on stopping by as well. I have to tell you guys that I provided an endorsement for the collection because I thought it was so good.
